Cassius enters the palace with the intention of killing the Emperor-to-be, but somehow he finds himself with a new task. The Emperor's son possesses an air that throws Cassius' world upside down. One minute he's trying to kill the heir, the next he's employed as a bodyguard. Being a bodyguard to the persuasive heir is not a walk in the park, however. Takeeo is manipulative, seductive, and quite possibly lethal. Navigating the palace with all its back-stabbers and ambitious traitors proves to be far more complicated than merely killing people for money, but Cassius is not a man who gives up. Especially not when his cold heart gets involved.

[Book One] Hart is supposed to be alone. His dark world has no room for another. Especially not his new victim, Riley. But this time it's different, and there's no going back once this twisted romance unveils.
